The Rhythmicon was a musical keyboard instrument built in 1931 by Leon Theremin at the request of composer/theorist Henry Cowell. Each key of the Rhythmicon played a repeated tone, proportional in pitch and rhythm to the overtone series (the second key played twice as high and twice as fast as the first key. The third key played three times higher and repeated three times faster then the first key, etc.):: The Online Rhythmicon
Here we present a virtual Rhythmicon that you can perform in your web browser.

:: Taking The Long View - Panoramic Photographs 1851-1991
The Panoramic Photograph Collection contains approximately four thousand images featuring American cityscapes, landscapes, and group portraits. These panoramas offer an overview of the nation, its enterprises and its interests, with a focus on the start of the twentieth century when the panoramic photo format was at the height of its popularity. The images date from 1851 to 1991 and depict scenes in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. More than twenty foreign countries and a few U.S. territories are also represented.
'It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country,' he read. 'This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.'or:
And Sergeant Colon once again knew a secret about bravery. It was arguably a kind of enhanced cowardice - the knowledge that while death may await you if you advance it will be a picnic compared to the certain living hell that awaits you should you retreat.:: Terry Pratchett - Jingo (A Discworld Novel)
In 1787, Mozart wrote the measures and instructions for a musical composition dice game. The idea is to cut and paste pre-written measures of music together to create a Minuet.:: Mozart's Musikalisches Würfelspiel (via fiendish is the word)
This site is an implementation of such a game. The music and table of rules for this game appear to have been published anonymously in 1787, and interestingly, the table of rules for this Minuet is identical to Mozart's. However, it is not clear who the composer of these measures is.
There are 176 possible Minuet measures and 96 possible Trio measures to choose from.
People who are sighted do not want your charity. They want to live, work and play along with you. The best thing you can do to support sighted people in your community is to open yourself to their world. These Americans are vital contributing members to society.

The vacuum exists and air has weight: these are the revolutionary concepts proved by the famous experiment of Evangelista Torricelli, performed in Florence in 1644. This discovery is the subject of a working exhibition, which reproduces the experiments that demonstrated the existence of the vacuum. The suggestive staging of "The marvellous operations of air ", a theatre of experimental demonstrations of the marvellous effects produced by air, unites the scientific spirit and the atmosphere of the baroque.:: Horror Vacui?

Bande de moins que rien,
Je me permet de vous écrire cet e-mail parce que je suis à bout. Je
savais déjà que tous les fonctionnaires des administrations françaises
étaient des pauvres d'esprit, des tires au flancs et des incapables et
qu'ils sont la cause numéro un de l'engluement administratif qui
ralentit énormément l'essor de la France. Mais aujourd'hui, je viens
de comprendre qu'en plus de tout cela vous n'êtes qu'un ramassis de
voleurs. En effet aujourd'hui, je viens de recevoir un avis
d'imposition de la taxe d'habitation de Toulon au domicile de mes
parents en région parisienne. Comme vous le savez très bien (suite
maintes appels et lettres de ma part) je n'habite plus à Toulon depuis
maintenant presque 2 ans. Vous le savez d'ailleurs d'autant plus, que
vous n'envoyez même pas l'avis à mon ancienne adresse Toulonnaise mais
directement chez mes parents. Il est donc totalement utopique que je
vous verse le moindre centime des 185 Euros quevous tentez de
m'extorquer. Je sais très bien que vous n'aurez pas l'amabilité, ni le
savoir vivre pour m'adresser la moindre excuse pour l' incapacité
chronique dont vous faites preuve. Alors, je vous souhaite de vous
enfoncer, bien profondément, votre taxe d'habitation dans l'anus, au
moins vous serez payé à faire quelque chose de vos journées...

The Department of Defense announced today that the United States will not meet the 45 percent chemical weapons stockpile destruction deadline of April 29, 2004, as set down by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The United States is therefore requesting the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) grant an extension of the 45 percent destruction deadline. The revised destruction date is December 2007.:: U.S. Dept of Defence: U.S. Chemical Weapons Destruction Extension Requested

Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place

Must get up an' learn those rules

Gets you up and gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?

Don't stop! Give it all you got!
You lot! What?
Don't stop! Yeah!
